Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some tracks can have several thousand ratings)

This track is rated in the top 3% of all tracks on BestEverAlbums.com. This track has a Bayesian average rating of 82.6/100, a mean average of 82.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 83.2/100. The standard deviation for this track is 12.1.

It almost took the entire album to find an instant classic. So Sad About Us is power pop at its best. Punchy guitars, tight drumming, great lead vocals and backing harmonies, and some nice remorseful lyrics about a relationship that ended. One of the Who's most underrated tracks.

This riff is really common. I know it most from another Byrds song "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" but after some research I've found that it dates back to at least 1964.
